Proof
In Chicago, the daughter who nursed a brilliant mathematician father through his mental decline must settle who wrote a startling proof found in his notebooks. Her estranged sister and a young former student of her father's each have a stake in the answer. First staged at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 2000, it joined mathematics to family drama and won both the Pulitzer and the Tony.
